A funding round is a reason to write, not the whole reason
A round tells you a company has new money and a plan to spend it. It does not tell you whether they need what you sell or who would buy it. Three checks turn this list into conversations:
Fit first. Keep the companies that match your buyer: the industry, the size and the problem you solve. A loud round at a company that could never buy is still a company that could never buy.
A second signal. Look for what else is happening: are they hiring the team you help, has a new leader joined, is someone there posting about the problem you solve? Two reasons beat one.
The person who can say yes. At a seed-stage company that is usually a founder. After a Series A or B, it is the leader of the team the money is building.
Then open with them, not with the round alone: "Congrats on the raise" is what everyone sends. "Saw you are hiring your first two AEs after the round" is a message only they could get.
How FOUND uses this
This list is a byproduct of FOUND's work. Its agents read funding news every day, keep the companies that match your buyer, find the right person at each with their work email and write to them on LinkedIn and email from your own accounts, with the round and a second reason in the first line. You approve every message and you see your first real leads before you pay. See it in a 20 minute demo or see the price.
Questions
Where does this list come from?
From public news coverage of funding rounds: startup and business news sites, funding trackers and press releases. FOUND reads them every day to spot companies that just raised, because a fresh round is one of the buying signals its agents watch. Each row links the report it came from.
How often is it updated?
Weekly. This version was built on 25 Oct 2026 and covers the 30 days before it. A round can take a few days to be reported, so the newest days fill in over the following week.
Why sell to startups that just raised?
New money comes with new targets. In the weeks after a round, founders and new leaders hire, set up their go-to-market and choose the tools they will grow on, so they are reading messages from vendors who can help them hit the plan.
When should I reach out after a funding round?
In the first few weeks, while the plan is being made. Open with something about their company, not the round alone: everyone congratulates a raise, so pair it with a second reason, like the team they are hiring or a post about the problem you solve.
Who should I contact at a company that just raised?
The person who owns the problem you solve and can say yes. At a seed-stage company that is usually a founder. After a Series A or B it is often the leader of the team being built, such as the head of sales, growth or operations.
